Step 1, realize what you've done,
where you've been, and where you've gone
Think of the memories you went through
Let them sink in for a minute or two.
A portal opens to your right,
you see a glimpse, a flashing light.
Among the lines of fear and shame
You venture forth to reclaim your name.
"How did I get lost? I lost my way...
The path I took, led me astray.
And, would you stay with me, until my last?
Had I known how to change my past?"
Speak to your younger self with care
don't be hard, be gentle there
Try to warn him of everything
without hiding anything.
Lay down a list of what goes wrong
The things you've buried all along.
And make sure he believes you!
Must make sure he believes you!
"How did I get lost? I lost my way...
The path I took led me astray.
And, would you stay with me, until my last?
Had I known how to change my past?"
As he begins to question you,
Tell him something that is true
Something that he'd only know,
a secret in his heart below...
He will do one of two things
He will listen to everything,
or he will say you are insane
and everything will come to be the same!
"How did I get lost? I lost my way ...
The path I took led me astray.
And, would you stay with me until my last?
Had I known how to change my past?"
And though I cannot change my past,
I finally understand at last.
